[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't an ECNL have any business playing in a state cup game?  You act like ECNL teams are above winning a state championship...if they can.  I know in my kid's age group, yeah, maybe Arlington has a good chance, but that is the only ECNL team in the running.[/quote]

Loudoun doesn't enter because they would lose and they more they lose - especially to non-ECNL clubs - the less they are able to justify charging parents twice as much as other clubs (including ECNL clubs).  Their teams are nosediving, the best kids leave for DCU, VDA and Arlington and nobody moves the other way.  And they somehow think that claiming a forfeit win (and making their own kids sit at home all weekend instead of playing the game of soccer they have paid for) is going to help reverse this.  They are utterly clueless.

McLean enters their ECNL teams - which have similar league results to Loudoun's - and usually wins a game or two before getting knocked out in the quarter finals or thereabouts.  But at least McLean understands that they best serve their kids by actually playing soccer against other teams that also want their kids to play soccer.  Good for them.  That program might actually improve as a result.

Loudoun tells parents it doesn't enter state cup because it is "too good".  The reality is that it's teams would be knocked out early.  It would lose to Alexandria, Arlington, Legacy, and Skyline in most or all age groups.  Heck it would lose plenty of age groups to McLean, Herndon, Beach, and others.

But none of that really matters for this thread - all that matters for this thread is how Loudoun behaved when asked to accommodate another club's request to reschedule.  It doesn't really matter what the reason for the request was.  It's like me phoning up my co-worker and saying "Jim, is there any way you could possibly move that call tomorrow, something's come up?".  And Jim replies "Let me check - oh yeah - looks like I could move it to the following day.  [b]But I won't do that for you Joe.  Instead I'm going to keep it right where it is and make sure our boss knows you didn't attend.[/b]".   And then Jim wonders why nobody likes him.[/quote]

They r allegedly a non-profit. But they steal people’s moneys. They also withhold your childs player card if u tell them ur leaving. How pathetic. 
The scores are there. It’s a subpar underperforming shitty club. Parents have come on here and say it, they just stay for the friendships. lol[/quote]

Give it a rest FCV donor. The club is the same as most of the others. They do try to protect their cash flow, else they’d go out of business. Pretty simple. You’ve also never tried scheduling games for a team or a club. It can be a pain in the rump, and you’re unaware of all the circumstances. Sounds like Arlington broke a long standing committtment. Why is that ok?  Here my analogy, “Hey Joe, I know that we’ve had this event planned for several months now and you’ve got close to 50 people ready to attend, but I’ve decided another event is more important for me, so can you move our event that we agreed to previously?”  I’d tell them to take a hike too. Arrogant Arlington club who thinks their shite don’t stink and can break commitments at any time without consequences. What a joke.

Also, withholding a player’s card is pretty standard and if it wasn’t why does VYSA have this rule?  Is it fair? Maybe not, but take it up with VYSA not one club out of hundreds that does the same thing they all do. [/quote]
